Good luck getting past them! Barcelona concede the fewest goals EVER across 30 games to break LaLiga's defensive record... as cash-strapped Catalans build from the back to edge closer to winning the title

Barcelona have built their title bid from the back - and have set a record in the process.

Led by Xavi, the Catalan side, who hold an 11-point lead at the top of LaLiga with eight matches to play, look likely to beat the world record for the fewest goals conceded in a full season in Spain's top flight, which currently stands at 18.

That accolade is shared by Deportivo De La Coruña from the 1993-94 season, and Atlético Madrid from 2015-16.

Under the management of 43-year-old Xavi, Barcelona have conceded only nine goals in 30 games, a record in LaLiga.
